Overview

Every second counts. Are you ready? Imagine this. It is an ordinary Tuesday evening. Dinner is on the stove. The children are in the next room. Then you hear it -- a crash, followed by silence. And in that silence everything changes. What happens next depends entirely on what you know. First Aid for Families is the complete first aid guide for parents, caregivers, and every adult responsible for a family. Written by Margaret Ellis RN -- a registered nurse with over two decades of emergency and family healthcare experience -- this is the first aid emergency handbook that belongs in every home. This is not a textbook written for paramedics. It is a practical first aid book for parents, grandparents, babysitters, and anyone who loves someone worth protecting. Clear, direct, and written in plain language anyone can follow under pressure. What You Will Learn: As the most comprehensive home first aid emergency guide available for families, this book teaches you exactly what to do in the critical minutes before help arrives. Using this complete CPR first aid guide you will learn how to perform CPR correctly on an infant, a child, and an adult -- including hands-only CPR when rescue breaths are not possible. You will learn to use an AED with confidence. As a trusted CPR guide book and emergency reference, this book also covers how to respond to choking in every age group including newborns. How to recognise and treat anaphylaxis and use an epinephrine auto-injector before it is too late. How to stop severe and life-threatening bleeding. How to treat burns correctly in the first ten minutes. How to recognise a stroke, a heart attack, and cardiac arrest. How to manage poisoning and overdose at home. How to respond to drowning and recognise the hidden danger of secondary drowning. How to support a mental health crisis, panic attack, or suicidal emergency. How to handle pregnancy and postpartum emergencies. And how to build a complete family emergency preparedness plan your whole household knows and has practised. Written as both a first aid guide for kids and adults alike this book covers every age group -- from newborns to the elderly -- with specific guidance tailored to each. This Is Not an Ordinary First Aid Book. Most first aid books give you lists of procedures. This book gives you something more valuable -- the understanding behind each procedure, the confidence to act under pressure, and the mindset that separates a person who freezes from a person who saves a life. Every chapter opens with a real-world scenario. Every procedure is explained in plain language. Every decision point is made clear. This book assumes one thing. You have people in your life worth protecting. Scroll up and add to cart today.
